Describe the bug When attempting to launch the empire_exec module the following error is issued:

[-] Unable to connect to Empire's RESTful API: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='0.0.0.0', port=1337): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/admin/login (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:992)'))) The following error can be seen in the Empire Server log:

To Reproduce Attemp to run the empire_exec module using the latest version of CME and Empire (BC Security) and observe the CME error and Empire server error present in the log.

I can confirm this is broken. Empire changed their API in v5 and the module was not updated to match.

I have fixed this in my working branch, and once tested and approved it can be pushed to sponsors.
